Tonight's dinner "Sheesy" potatoes and baked tofu

I made "Sheesy" potatoes, baked tofu, beet and spinach salad, and half dipped chocolate pretzels for a dinner tonight.

I drained the tofu and marinated it overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and vegan worcestershire sauce. I baked the tofu. I cooked some teeny tiny potatoes from Trader Joe's and sprinkled shredded Gouda Sheese on top. I served that with raw spinach, red beets and tomatoes. I melted some chocolate chips and dipped the pretzels in. Then I chilled the pretzels in the freezer on a baking sheet until the chocolate got firm. Now I am getting ready to watch some TV and relax after a crazy work week.

Thank you, Alessandra.The pretzels taste almost like the store bought snack "Flipz"- Chocolate covered pretzels. I am not sure if you are familiar with those. It is an interesting and balanced taste between salty and sweet. Try one before you make a whole batch and see if you like it.

About Me

I am a Czech Vegan living in America. I am working on my first vegan cookbook. On this blog I share my recipes, my thoughts on vegan living, vegan products reviews and other fun things. Two of my recipes were published in the Vegetarian Times magazine, as winning recipes in their recipe contests (November/December 2010 issue and September 2012 issue) and another recipe was published by Eating Well in the cookbook EatingWell Fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals: 150 Healthy Recipes Everyone Will Love (2011), and Eating Well magazine (August 2012 issue).
I love cooking and baking, running, and I enjoy veganizing Czech and American recipes. I am an animal rescuer, chocoholic and a tea lover.
I would like to mention that some of the products that I talk about on my blog were generously given to me with no obligation to write a positive review. If you make vegan products and want them to be featured and reviewed on my blog, let me know. You can email me at czechvegan (at) yahoo.com. My old email address czech.vegan (at) yahoo.com was compromised so I can no longer access it.
